Today 11-30-25 I went to visit my mom in the morning about 11:00 am . I was very happy with how the staff interacted with me about how my mom was doing I asked for help and the nurse aide provided me with the help . I felt the connection they had with my mom as a resident there. I felt like we were not overlooked as we will get to her whenever. Treat people as you would like your family to be treated and this is your job do it with grace and passion you do not know where you or one of your family would be one day . Most of all do it from your heart ♥️ your position is to care for the people that are in Autum lake in need of your assistance.
